A member asked:

What to do if i'm 16 and i have been sneezing and had a running nose for a while now, my mum said it could be hayfever, is it possible to only just get hayfever?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Hayfever can develop at any time. Even though there are many over the counter medicines available it is beat to see a doctor to make the diagnosis.

I gave my 5 year old 1 teaspoon of Loratadine at 12:30pm. It is a 24 hour dose. She is now (9:30pm) having sneezing, slightly running nose. Can I give her 1 tablet of diphenhydramine (4 hour dose) to get over the night?
